Su Yuan's movement of hoeing the field paused, and he turned his head to look towards the foot of the mountain.
The cave mansion's Formation and the Mind Echo were activated simultaneously, allowing both his main body and sub-consciousness to see the scene at the foot of the mountain.
The overlap of the two perspectives gave Su Yuan a feeling of wonder.
He found that the Mind Echo was still a more Advanced power; from this perspective, he could sense the probing gaze of the Formation.
He used the Formation's perception to look back at his Mind Echo high in the sky. The Formation still couldn't locate where the Mind Echo was, but the Mind Echo could clearly sense the Formation's probing.
This feeling was very strange. After experiencing it for a while, he finally turned his attention to the entrance.
He saw four Disciples standing at the entrance of the cave mansion, discussing amongst themselves.
"Does Senior Brother Su live here?" one Disciple asked hesitantly, looking at the mountain peak before him.
"This cave mansion should be Tier 4, right? This is where a Nascent Soul Elder lives. Are you sure?" another Disciple questioned.
"Yes, I'm sure," Zhuge Jian said, shaking his head. "I just asked the Sect Leader, and the Sect Leader pointed to this cave mansion."
"I'll go knock on the door!" Nangong Huoyu said, walking forward. The moment she approached the Formation's entrance,
the Formation automatically opened a portal.
Su Yuan's voice came from within the Formation.
"It's you. Come up to the mountain peak!"
Zhuge Jian and the others were startled.
Zhuge Jian quickly replied, "Okay, Senior Brother Su!"
The few people exchanged glances and quickly ascended the steps.
A stone step path led all the way to the mountain peak. They didn't fly up on their swords but politely walked up the steps.
Upon reaching the mountain peak, the four saw Su Yuan still working in the fields, hoeing the ground.
All four were a bit stunned, clearly not expecting Su Yuan to be farming at this time.
Su Yuan put down his hoe, walked out of the field, and smiled as he led them into an empty courtyard.
With a wave of his hand, he produced a tea table and several chairs.
"You arrived quite quickly. Have a seat!"
Su Yuan smiled and gestured for them to sit down.
Zhuge Jian and Nangong Huoyu's group of four quickly bowed before sitting down.
"Senior Brother Su, we..."
"Don't rush!"
Su Yuan waved his hand.
He took out tea leaves and put them into a teapot. With a gesture, the spirit water from the spirit spring at the mountain peak flew over and entered the teapot.
Su Yuan opened his left hand, and a ball of flame appeared out of thin air, settling beneath the teapot to slowly burn.
Nangong Huoyu's expression froze. Looking at the cluster of flames, a hint of understanding arose in her heart.
Zhuge Jian noticed Nangong Huoyu's state and was immediately surprised. He also focused intently on Su Yuan's tea-making movements. It was as if he saw a kind of natural force of heaven and earth within them, with the Burning flame tempering and the gentle power of life circulating.
Within a small space, one fire and one wood contained infinite Dao principles.
Zhuge Jian watched in fascination, and Nangong Huoyu's eyes were also fixed intently. The other two Disciples, however, didn't notice Su Yuan's actions, but instead looked around curiously, examining the scene of the Tier 4 cave mansion.
Su Yuan glanced at the two Disciples and shook his head slightly.
After a while, a pot of tea was finally brewed. Su Yuan poured tea for each of them one by one.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Su!" the four said in unison.
Su Yuan smiled and nodded.
Zhuge Jian and the others drank the tea, and their complex and fluctuating emotions slowly calmed down.
Only then did Su Yuan slowly say, "You came to see me about the Blackwood Forest matter, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Jian's calmed emotions immediately became agitated again. "Was it really Senior Brother Su who took action? We are truly grateful to you! Today, the four of us specially came to thank you. We should have come earlier, but due to the rules of Immortal Seed Valley, we couldn't enter."
Nangong Huoyu also showed admiration and gratitude.
The other two Disciples looked somewhat astonished, clearly they hadn't initially believed that it was really Su Yuan who had taken action.
Su Yuan waved his hand, "At that time, I observed the celestial phenomena at night and predicted that you would be in trouble, so I borrowed the power of the Big Dipper to give it a try. It was fortunate that I could help you escape the predicament, and it was also lucky that you left two strands of hair for me to locate you!"
Zhuge Jian breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's how it is. Thankfully, we asked Senior Brother to perform a divination before we left. Indeed, we encountered danger in the Secret Realm. The situation at that time was exactly as you described, Senior Brother. We successfully escaped the death calamity and even gained some benefits from it."
He exchanged glances with the other three. Then, Zhuge Jian solemnly took out a purple sealed wooden box from his pocket and handed it to Su Yuan.
The box had intricate patterns on it, seemingly a very sophisticated Restriction.
"This is a treasure we obtained in the Secret Realm. The Seal on it is extremely complex, and we haven't opened it yet. Please accept it, Senior Brother Su."
Su Yuan glanced at it and said, "We are all fellow Disciples. Seeing fellow Disciples in danger, I would naturally take action. It only cost a few Spirit Stones, it's not a big deal!"
Zhuge Jian was stunned, and the hand holding the wooden box stiffened slightly.
Nangong Huoyu gave Zhuge Jian a glare and transmitted her voice, "Spirit Stones!"
Zhuge Jian suddenly understood. He quickly put down the wooden box and took out a storage bag.
"Our lives were saved by Senior Brother. How can we let Senior Brother incur expenses? These are the Spirit Stones we pooled together, as our thank you fee!"
Su Yuan coughed, "There's no need to be too extravagant."
He extended his Divine Sense into the storage bag. There were a lot of Spirit Stones inside. Upon closer count, there were actually over nine million Spirit Stones.
He had spent quite a lot of Spirit Stones refining the Cave Heaven Spirit Treasure, and his bag was empty. These Spirit Stones came at just the right time.
He said with some surprise, "So many Spirit Stones? Aren't you going to Foundation Establishment?"
He could tell that none of the four had undergone Foundation Establishment yet.
Zhuge Jian shook his head, "Foundation Establishment doesn't consume many Spirit Stones, one or two tens of thousands is enough. The most important Foundation Establishment spiritual item, we also obtained from the Secret Realm. We'll make some adjustments later and then all prepare for Foundation Establishment!"
"Only one or two tens of thousands of Spirit Stones?" Su Yuan's expression was a bit strange.
Zhuge Jian was stunned and asked hesitantly, "Senior Brother just underwent Foundation Establishment, may I ask how many Spirit Stones you consumed?"
Su Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I spent two hundred million Spirit Stones for Foundation Establishment at that time."
"Two, two hundred million? Not twenty thousand?" Nangong Huoyu's beautiful eyes widened greatly, and her mouth fell open.
The others were also dumbfounded, for a moment doubting if they had misheard.
Su Yuan took a sip of tea, "I'm different from you. At that time, I was aiming to build a Perfect Dao Foundation and also set up a set of internal Formations. The Spirit Stones consumed were a bit more."
"How, how is that possible? Senior Brother, what's the difference between the Perfect Dao Foundation you mentioned and a high-grade Dao Foundation?" Zhuge Jian couldn't help but ask.
However, after speaking, he immediately reacted, "I'm sorry, this involves Senior Brother's secrets, I shouldn't have asked."
Su Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "How old are you?"
"Thirty," Zhuge Jian replied.
"That's still good," Su Yuan said. "I left my Legacy in the Scripture Pavilion on Three Absolutes Peak. It includes the concept of a Perfect Dao Foundation. This is a method I created myself."
He looked at Zhuge Jian's Dantian area, slightly sensed his Foundation, and then said, "I suggest you spend another thirty years to learn my Legacy secret method. It's not too late to undergo Foundation Establishment at sixty. I wouldn't actively persuade others, but you guided me back then, which was helpful for my cultivation. I can't bear to see you undergo Foundation Establishment with such an ordinary Foundation."
Zhuge Jian's mouth twitched, "This is already a high-grade Dao Foundation, and I've prepared a Tier 3 spiritual item. Is this still considered ordinary?"
"Go and see for yourselves first," Su Yuan paused and said, "Of course, learning the first three volumes is enough. You don't need the subsequent scriptures; the first three volumes are sufficient."
Upon hearing this, the four exchanged glances, all becoming a bit curious.
Just then, Su Yuan turned his head again to look towards the foot of the mountain.
Zhuge Jian said in surprise, "Senior Brother Su, do you have guests? Should we leave first?"
"Haha, it's fine," Su Yuan waved his hand.
His gaze looked towards the foot of the mountain, and through the Formation, he saw a figure - Xu Guangwen.
At this moment, Xu Guangwen's heart was truly in turmoil.
After successfully inheriting the position of Peak Lord, Xu Guangwen immediately asked Gu Sect Leader about Su Yuan's background.
He never expected that Gu Sect Leader would just give him a book and tell him to read it.
What book?
"Biographies of Past Ancestors"
After just a few glances, he grasped the keywords!
Reserve Peak!
The first Peak Lords of the seven peaks were all Opening Meridian Ancestral Teachers!
At this moment, he was completely dumbfounded!
He finally understood why, despite his considerable achievements and decent strength, he had never been able to become the Peak Lord of Hidden Peak. Now he finally understood.
Hidden Peak was Reserve Peak, prepared for the Ancestor.
What kind of figures were Opening Meridian Ancestral Teachers? The biographies stated that they were peerless individuals who gathered talent, comprehension, opportunities, unique skills, and destiny, destined to become revered Ancestors!
The seven major periods of prosperity in Seven Absolutes Sect history were accompanied by the legendary rise of each generation's Opening Meridian Ancestral Teacher!
Such figures could no longer be judged by common sense!
And now, the eighth Opening Meridian Ancestral Teacher was born!
Although still appearing young, Seven Absolutes Sect's next soaring was just around the corner!
At this time, seizing the Opportunity to cling tightly to the Ancestor's leg was key. And he actually competed with the Ancestor for the position of Peak Lord?
Xu Guangwen hurriedly said goodbye to the Sect Leader.
Then he came to Su Yuan's cave mansion entrance.
"Peak Lord Xu? What is the matter?" Su Yuan's voice came from within the Formation.
Xu Guangwen cupped his hands, "I was previously very offensive. I am ashamed to accept the position of Peak Lord. Please take it back, Peak Lord Su."
"Stop! There's no discussing this! You are the new Peak Lord of Three Absolutes Peak. I'm not taking this job!"
"But, about the unique skills..."
"I've put all the unique skills in the Scripture Pavilion!"
"But, but I don't know how to do them! When I recruit core and True Disciples in the future, I won't be able to teach them!" Xu Guangwen said, feeling depressed.
"Simple, why don't you learn them too?" Su Yuan said.
Xu Guangwen was stunned when he heard this and fell into thought. It seemed logical, but he felt something was not quite right.
"May I meet with you to discuss this in detail?"
"Then come up!"
The Formation opened.
Xu Guangwen took a deep breath and quickly ascended the mountain peak.
He saw Zhuge Jian and the other Refining Qi Disciples were also there and was a bit surprised.
Then he bowed his head and saluted, "Greetings, Ancestor!"
This scene made Zhuge Jian and the others instantly dumbfounded. They didn't dare to sit anymore and all stood up, standing aside and looking at this scene with bewildered expressions.
Ancestor?
What the heck?
Su Yuan was also almost thrown off balance by Xu Guangwen's action.
"What are you doing!" Su Yuan rolled his eyes. "What Ancestor? I'm only eighteen years old!"
